We are constantly aware of the very great dangers that our children have to face each day ag they play on the streets or go to and from school, BUT as parents we seem to forget that we must he continuously teach- ing the children to he aware of these perils. Cars and trucks whiz past so often that the child forgets that they are there; parents forget to warn their children because they have al- ways come home safely. How often have they come home safely because some motorist has heen quick with his foot on the brakes? Reports keep coming in to the news- paper office about near-accidents to small children, often pré-school child- ren, who callously play on the roads. Sometimes these near misses are the result of forgetfulness, but as of- ten as not they are the result of open defiance on the part of the children. Children who will stand on the road until the last second to play hockey or ball, children who "show off" on their bikes, who skid them on purpose because they feel "hig" when they do; these children are risking their lives and that of the motorists who must pass them. It seems obvious that the parents of these youngsters have ne- gleeted a very real responsibility to their chldren. It proves that it is not sufficient to scold the youngster when you happen to catch him or her. No, parents should sce that they walk and drive safely themselves, and that they make use of every opportunity to in- stil safe habits in their children, The teachers of our schools are very safety conscious. They are doing all they can to instil safety. into the minds of the children under their care. But these children are on the streets far longer when they are under the care of their mothers. It is up to the parents to teach safety, too!
